Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute hotel. The rooms were clean and big. There was free WiFi. Hotel staff were incredibly helpful with the million questions I asked. Big pool! You have to pay for parking but it is so worth it. My only complaint is that the entrance to the hotel is right next to the freeway on ramp. Our first time driving in we accidentally got on the freeway. PS you can’t hear freeway noises. Would stay here again"

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Me and a couple of friends did a staycation at the Lafayette to celebrate my friends engagement and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff left us a nice little surprise in our room consisting of champagne and some fruit. It was so sweet. We spent the whole day at the pool on Sunday and then went to dinner outside of the hotel but came back later for a night cap. Always love spending time at the Lafayette and cannot wait to go back. A final thank you again to all the amazing staff!"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My girlfriends and I stayed here over the weekend for my Bachelorette party. It well exceeded all my expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the property was very well maintained and clean! The room itself was spotless and beautiful, not to mention the cool high tech gadgets used in the rooms to operate the lights, AC, and privacy sign. The one downfall was that the AC was not super effective and did get a bit stuffy in the room, but it's understandable because it is an older building but hopefully it's something they can look into updating soon. The beds were SO comfy and clean, we slept like babies! Will definitely be gong back and would recommend this hotel to anyone!!"
